Amazingly crafted sculptures, made with coir materials. A must visit spot in Alappuzha. One could spent minimum 30 minutes there enjoying the beauty of craft items. Entry fees for adults is 20/-, students -10/- and for foreigners, it's 100/- There is a shop inside the museum where you can buy craft items, decors and accessories.

One of the oldest coir museum where you can find all types of machines using that coir use to build. Here they have one training center as well which functioning from Monday to Friday .

Unique coir exhibits on display. Good parking facility.

It's a nice museum with shows lots of items which are made from coir and how coir is made. It also has a gift shop from where you can buy souvenir as well. Entry ticket is 20 for adults If bringing mobile phone or bag/camera then 50 rupees extra. And if you want to see a film or documentary as well then 40 rupees

Place is so clean and well maintained. The guide helped us understand the rich culture and process of extracting coir. One should visit and understand the culture which was originated in India. This will help carry our lost culture and tradional methods for humanity. I felt the innovative products in the display to be made available for sale to general public. Like the paintings and art, which could be a gr8 collectors art.

This museum was so creative. Everything here was made of coir, the remaining stuff that comes off when we cut coconuts. The scrapes of coconuts basically. So creative and beautiful. The cleanliness and awareness of the museum is awesome. Loved the ganeshji made of coir. There were many items made of coir. So beautiful 😍 Loved the services too. Thanks.

Important: please carry a payment card with you ( Debit or credit) for buying tickets and souvenirs. They do not accept cash or UPI. So the place is very well maintained and clean. The work has been perfectly placed and exhibited. There could have been more items in the souvenir shop. It takes 20-30 minutes to visit the place. The staff knows Hindi, Malayalam and English and they are very polite. You can take a ticket for taking pictures as well. Very affordable. If you want to buy anything, they have mats available and very less decor items. They are closed in Monday.

This is an amazing museum with lots of hand crafted coir products. There is a guide who will walk with us and explain everything in details. They have a shop where we can buy some good handcrafted coir decorative and products. They won't accept any currencies due to covid situation, so we have to pay thru card.

Coir is not a waste but it could create wonders. To understand, how, you must visit this museum with family.

Good to visit and see different uses of coir. There is entry fee for person and mobile. Museum can be seen in 20-30 minutes.

Awesome place to visit. Good during summer too. Is cool throughout the place. Everything made in coir.

The museum has varieties of machines and art works made of coconut. The lady guide explained us the story behind the museum and all related questions. The entry fee is very minimal. There is a shop also where you can buy coir made products at reasonable price as this is a government shop.

As a part of our Kerala itinerary, visited the museum. A very good insight on conversion of the coir into a variety of products. Though the plastics have played spoilsport in their marketshare, the reason is also the high costs. The Bengal connection was an interesting part of history. The government must remove taxes of all types for these products

During the Diamond Jubilee year, Coir Board built an International Coir Museum that showcases historical events and the progression of technological breakthroughs in the Coir Sector. On May 27, 2014, the International Museum was opened at the Coir Board Complex in Kalavoor by the Honorable Chief Minister of Kerala, Shri Oommen Chandy. The public may now visit this museum. The International Coir Museum was founded to present the growth of the coir business via the most recent advancements that have sparked a revolution. Alleppey's tourism map mentions this museum as a beautiful location. The museum also showcases the evolution of the coir industry's traditional methods, such as retting and fiber extraction, the introduction of mechanization in the coir business, etc. Visitors are taken on a brief video tour of the history of the coir industry, including its inception, expansion, and current advancements resulting from ongoing research and development. This will provide nostalgic memories of the coir business. The Museum is connected to a gift shop where guests may enjoy SHOPPING a variety of coir handicrafts, doormats, ornaments, etc.

1. Good museum. 2. Needs to upgrade the sovenier items sold at the thrift shop. 3. A proper guide should be their to show the things and introduce people to the art and craft.

Coir, the golden fibre, is an amazing gift from nature. Here u can experience the process and the utilities of the coir. Here various training programs on coir and allied technologies are also offered.

Already mentioned that they only take credit and debit cards. The museum will only take 20 to 30 mins of your time . And if you are interested in coir or things from coir are made can be visited apart from that the souvenir shop has some nice items priced reasonably

This museum showcases the building of coir industry. Coir is made from the shell and fiber of coconuts. The industry took hold in the 1850s. Many products of everyday use is produced and sold around the world. They have equipment to make coir from the early days till the 20th century. Fascinating place. I would recommend this place for those interested in history and manufacturing development in the area.

A small yet quite interesting museum exhibiting items made from coconut coir products. Wonderful artefacts, sculptures and designs made out of coir on display. It also has a section that has the actual machinery used to prepare coir products. It also showcases the traditional method of extracting fibre and retting coir used during the pre-mechanised times. Plus, it has a decent souvenir shop from where you can buy handicrafts and ornaments made at the museum itself. The museum guide was friendly and did a good job of informing us about the development of coir industry though the ages. Entry tickets are priced at 20 rupees per person. Photography is charged at 50 rupees. However, they accept only card payment which is a big bummer. Hope they start cash and UPI soon. Another down side was the ticketing staff. I found them disinterested and unwelcoming. Half an hour is sufficient to check out the whole museum. It is located on the highway so you can easily spot it. It was a great experience to visit this museum. It is a good option to explore something different and interesting in Kerala. A recommended visit to learn about this lesser known industry of India.

It is a beautiful museum having amazing display of art in making idols of Hindu Gods , houses made up of coir. It is a must visit if you are on a trip to Kerala. The museum also has a store from where you can buy variety of souvenir which will remind you of this beautiful place.

Good place to spend time in the hot weather day. Has specimens of the Cor items and the machineries used. Also the historical background of the industry is depicted and there is a guide who can explain the concepts. The room with displays are well.arranged and ambience is maintained. There is a suvenier shop to do shopping also. The entry ticket is provided with card payment. No cash payment accepted. Easily spotted from the road.

Very beautiful museum , it's basically a factory with display also , the things made of coir are very nice and also some things are that you can't even imagine that it's made of coconut hair basically , must visit once , ps :- coffee was also very nice🤪 and yes only ONLINE PAYMENT SO PLZ BRING YOUR CREDIT/DEBIT CARD WITH YOU .

Very nice all type of artificial maked very very nice super apprentice also take training here museum is very nice so many tourist also coming and enjoy the place nearby marari beach 10 kilometres elephant ride also nearby very well

This is an international museum in Alleppey, which proved surprisingly interesting, and well-curated. Coir is coconut fibre, extracted from the outer husk of coconut. The museum sets out the history of the manufacture and uses of coir, such as beds, mats and carpets, which were still being made on the premises. It's colourful, interactive, and engaging.

Good

A must visit in kerala. Creativity and Craftsmanship using coir is mind blowing.

Now closed . Coir museum alappuzha kochi road . Kerala tourism

Ticket Price Reasonable. Adult - Rs. 20 and Student - 10. They only take card payments. The guide will explain you all exhibits. Informative.

₹20 for entry fee and ₹50 for mobile camera of whole crew. There are a lot of things exhibited here which we never thought that could be made from coir including furnitures and panels and tiles. Museum is owned by central govt. Worth a visit. Also a mini retail outlet also functions here. Only card payments accepted here.

To escape from rain accidentally we discovered this place. Really good place to spend for 1-2 hours

The lady at the museum explained everything in detail. Had a good experience.

This museum offers a glimpse into the history of coir processing and manufacturing in kerala. In addition there are a variety of art pieces made using coir that makes it an excellent opportunity for amazing photos. There are sculptures, portraits and various other creations crafted out of coir and they are quite glorious. Must visit!

Its a coir board museum come training center near to Alappuzha undertaking by govt of india. Different type of makings can be seen there with coir. Refer my pics. The center also giving training and certificate in weaving different coir products like mat

I reached this place by auto at 9.15 am and the place got opened at 9.30. It will intresting to see what are all the things that we can do using fiber and the history of fiber industry, their processing are explained in this museum.

Interested museum! Have a lot of unique and creative products! Know how to make coir and history about this place! To see the factory to training people how to do! Big place enough to see and to look! Havr fee if you want o make video/ photo!

International coir museum is not much worth it as we think. Only card payment is accepted in the ticket counter. 20 rupees per adult ticket for mobile photography they are charging Rs 50. Please don't buy photography tickets because there is nothing inside for photography. Toilet facility is good. Only 10 minutes is enough to watch this museum.

Tickets for foreigners: you need to pay by card, but their payment machine has an international card payment blocked. What a pickle! We had to ask our driver to use his cards. The Museum shows the history of choir usage. OK-ish exhibition.

Its Amazing Mustily visit in coir museum Her it cell on coir meterilas Main interesty in alappy

Overall nice experience to watch the making process of the coir items. Good to know the history. Lovely sculptures made of coir. Nice place to spend some time learning history

This is a place located in Alappuzha on highway to kochi. This Museum is dedicated to coir industry. Displays many items made of coir, processes in making coir and it's products and various related machinery. Not a very huge Museum but does the job very well. Had a small souvenir shop where one can find quite a few items at much cheaper process compared to market/other commercial souvenir shops. Must visit place if you are in Alappuzha.

Must visit to see the amazing creativity

I enjoyed the coir museum and found it informative and interesting with some lovely exhibits. However I would have liked abit more info on some exhibits personally. I will never see a doormat same again! A fantastic industry utilising a fantastic fibre!

Good

Well maintained Coir Museum . Trained Guide(no separate payment required to them its included in entry fee) Entry fee to be paid through card only. Coir products can be purchased from there too.

This museum is really nice and informative, well presented about the coir applications. Here only accept card payment, it doesn't accept cash.

Worlds one and only international coir museum Very good standard variety of products that we can see in here

Very nice place. All the staffs were very kind to explain all about the coir evolution. Kids were very happy to know about this. We can buy the products like home decors and interiors from the stall inside the museum.

This will give sweet memories on coir industry. There is souvenir shop attached to the Museum where visitors can have the joy of SHOPPING a wide range of coir handicrafts, coir doormats, etc

Nice

Small museum

Jute artifact's and history posters in 3 different rooms. 15min documentary is available but at charge 40rs per person. Otherwise entry fee is Rs 45 per person. Only card payment is accepted , no cash .

The meauseum is a place of national pride for showcasing our technological progress in coir product.It is very informative for the visitors.And therefore, I STRONGLY feel that photography be free (for visitors' record, memory etc.) and rule of 'only on line' payment of entry fee may be modified to pay in cash as well, to forgo discrimination amongst visitors, from all over the country.

Monday holiday. It not satisfied

Excellent

Various ways are portrayed to make use of coir

Nice museum

Nice musiun so nice I love it too much

Awesome place

Interesting!! Very warm inside, not air conditioned. Good film to watch on history of coir in kerala

Nice museum

I liked this place. Very informative

Good museum to visit & know about one of our old & strong industries.

An native museum to show case how kerala emerged as the coir business. It clearly portraits how coir has become integral part of kerala culture and heritage. As this is managed by local governing body, entry Prices are very reasonable but the articrafts are not affordable.

(Translated by Google) some (Original) Sumar

A must visit place in Alappuzha,

Amazing art work place

Gem of a place

I like the coir technology

This is a simple, yet informative and well presented museum dedicated the manufacture and applications of coir, a valuable and eco-friendly resource widely used in Kerala and worldwide. They have a free guided tour included in the ticket fees. Great for kids to learn about this fascinating fibre that originates from the coconut tree. On the way from Alleppey to Kochi right off the state highway.

Go Natural is this god Gift 🌴

Nice place...... different things which you can't even imagine are made up of coir......can visit once if you are in kerala

I had never known so many applications of Coir (the coconut skin). There were ropes, mats, furniture and even a house built from coir. A lady guided us in the entire museum and she has an immense knowledge about the place. They also help you in starting your own firm with coir machines, one can invest from min 1.5lacs to 15lacs to manufacture several products from coir. One can also avail compensation from the Govt for starting their company.

Great....

Nice place

It's good to know what all stuff can be made out of coir... It might be interesting to some... But I usually avoid such museum visits

Nice place loveit

Must visit please

Wonderful experience... never realised so much effort goes into play before making coir.. 👍

Documents the evolution of Coir industry in Alappuzha and also exhibits some amazing products made out of Coir There is also a souvenir shop where one can buy some.of these coir products They accept only cards, probably because of the Covid situation

Great layout and awesome display, want to know about coir and coir products then it's the perfect place. staff are friendly and helpful.

Good use for coconut and nice place.

This is one of a kind museum that showcases the way coir is made from coconut husk and the various products from coir. It takes you through the journey of coir making by hand and how it is done presently with the help of machines. Since machines are now being used the coir is now exported as the production has gone up. The various products on display are also interesting (like the necklace in the pic is made of coir)

A museum showcasing the history of the Coir industry in Kerala. Handicrafts made with Coir are showcased here. A museum guide will guide you through the exhibits. Tour can get a bit technical as they showcase the different coir extraction machines. Souvenir shop is average.

Good experience while in Alleppey or Marari. They have a shop as well to buy some coir items.

Some artwork made out of coir was displayed. They also had displayed the different machines that are used to rett the coir and the looms. Could potentially be better if someone did a guided tour, especially of the coir making process and the machines. There is some information printed beside the displays, but the looms are not explained. A demo would make the place really worth the visit. Entry fee is 20 per head, they only accept card.

What you get: 1. History of coir industry in Kerala. 2. Exhibition of methods and tools used (old and present) 3. Exhibition of coir products and art work. 4. A souvenir shop to buy products. Guide service available (you may have to ask for it). Entry fee Rs 20 for Indian nationals. Camera fee Rs 50 (applicable for mobile also). No cash payment, only card.

This place beautifully tracks the history of coir manufacturing in Kerala. Great layouts and awesome display. It gets a bit too technical with all the machines at one point. But can easily spend 1 hour at this place.

This place is fantastic. The reason for giving 4 stars because when we went there there was no electricity and there are no power backup in the premise. One lady guide accompanied us and she was wonderful. The museum tells you the history of the commercial coir industry in India. Much important information shared during the guided tour. Many old machines arOne small souvenir shop is also present within the premise, but it's not very inspiring.

Very innovative items made of coir. Unfortunately nobody to explain how the machines etc work. In the souvenir shop, the gentleman speaks only malayalam, so often no answer to question. Biggest problem, no signs on the roadside to indicate the place

A decent museum to see art made out of coir. Entry fees some wer around 20 per person you can spend some 30 to 45 mins not more than that. But little far from allepey.

Some awesome coir stuff, interesting to look at the artifacts on display and also an entire house made of coir, it will take max an hour, but we'll worth it!

The coir museum is good but the security guard is too bad. The whole experience would have better if the people gaurd was polite enough. The museum accepts only card payment for buying tickets and any souvenir. We were suppose to buy many items for our well-wishers but the gaurd didn't allow us to go out to fetch cards for payment from car. Rest assured the labour that was put in one mat is tremendous. You get to see how they weave the coir from coconut shell into desired product.

Handmade coir things are displayed very neat and well organised. Appreciate the cleanliness and friendly environment. Entrance fees Rs. 20 per adult. For child it's free. We can take photos and appreciate the real talents.

Wonderful - We got the chance of seeing Arts Gallery purely made of Coir. It is very good place and the plus point is it is just located on highway. Anyone can easily locate it.

A place to visit if someone is interested in History. 20₹ is the entry fee but it's worth. All the items made/kept in the museum is of Coir. Liked it.

This small museum is a lovely place to visit when you are in Alleppey. Staff is very helpful. Wonderful pieces are exhibit there. It was very quick to see the museum. Trust me you will not regret. We must appreciate mystic hands 🙏

It's a small museum and a factory attached to it.... can be visited once...everything displayed is made with coir. *They only except card payments*

The International Coir Museum is located in Kalavoor in the Alappuzha district, the hub of coir industry in Kerala. An initiative of the Coir Board of India, this museum will take you on a journey to learn about the evolution and uses of coir from its beginnings as a daily utility to today's diversified uses

Awsome
